Abstract

This study aimed to identify gender differences in sexual harassment awareness, sexual attitude, and correlation between them among college students. Data were collected in a 4-year university in Jeollanam-do and a total of 127 female and 93 male college students participated in this study in April, 2018. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Male students' level of sexual harassment awareness were lower than femal's (p<.001). Male's sexual attitude was more conservative, but difference of sexual attitude between male and female was not statistically significant (p=.073). This study presented that the more conservative sexual attitude was related to the higher level of sexual harassment awareness in male group. On the contrary, the more conservative sexual attitude was related to the lower level of sexual harassment awareness in female group. It is necessary to develop a gender-specific sexual harassment prevention education program.

본 연구는 대학생들의 성희롱 인식과 성 태도 및 성희롱 인식과 성태도의 상관관계에서 남녀 차이가 있는지 검증하기 위해 수행되었다. 전남에 위치한 일개 4년제 대학교에 재학 중인 남녀 대학생 총 250명을 대상으로 2018년 4월 한 달 동안 설문지를 배포하여 최종 220명의 자료를 분석하였다. 자료분석을 위해 서술통계, 독립표본 t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient를 활용하였다. 연구결과, 남학생의 성희롱 인식 수준이 여학생보다 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났고(p<.001), 남학생이 여학생보다 더 보수적인 성 태도를 보였으나 통계적 유의성이 없었다(p=.073). 성희롱 인식과 성태도의 상관관계에서 남학생은 성태도가 개방적일수록 성희롱 인식 수준이 낮았고(r=.301, p=.003), 여학생은 성태도가 보수적일수록 성희롱 인식 수준이 낮았다(r=-.199, p=.025). 본 연구를 통하여 남녀 대학생의 성태도와 성희롱 인식 수준의 상관관계에서 확연한 성별 차이를 확인했다. 향후 성별 특화된 성희롱 예방교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
